What this launch shows

Mastra posted this from an account with 17K followers and reached 13.5 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 50.8 times their following.

This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 324 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1384 of 1981.

Replies led. 182 of them, 7.9 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.3. The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after.

Bookmarks came in at 240, reposts at 115. One bookmark for every 4.4 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.

The post opens with “We’re excited to announce today that @mastra has raised a $22M Series A led by Spark Capital”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.

It carries a 57-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.

The copy runs 26 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires. For the next one, read giving people something to reply to: the conversation is what carried this one.

Developer marketing strategy is the guide for it: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
